bearing caps, and a deep - sump oil pan.
The turbocharged and intercooled four - cylinder is the first - ever aluminum - block Evo powerplant and the first to sport four - bolt main -
bearing caps.
@P ᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 OK so I noticed when I was looking through the u joints that the w / quadrasteer w / crewcab u joints measure the outer diameter of
the bearing cap at 1.188» the inside lockup is 3.622».
Bearing Cap Diameter: 1.125» Bearing Plate Diameter: N / A Bolt Hole Circle Diameter: N / A Cross Dimensions: N / A Fits Driveline Series: SPL25 / S44 Greasable: No Outside Snap Ring U-Joint Cross Trunnion Diameter: N / A Outside Snap Ring U-Joint Overall Cross Length: N / A Snap Ring Dimension: 2.556» Snap Ring Inside U-Joint Cross Trunnion Diameter: N / A U-Joint Bearing Type: Inside Snap Ring U-Joint End Yoke Dimensions: N / A Contents: U-Joint, Caps & Snap Rings UNSPSC: 25173810
UJS UJ534G This looks like it's used for the front and rear my vision got blurry around page 3 so you're probably going to have to measure the outer diameter of
the bearing cap on the u-joint.
Step 6: Remove four
bearing cap bolts and the cover.
Step 9: Remove
the bearing cap cover o - ring.
The high - pressure die - cast lightweight aluminium block is stiffened with cast iron liners and cross-bolted main
bearing caps, providing refinement to match its power.
Cylinder Block and Crankshaft The Civic Type R's 2.0 - liter inline 4 - cylinder engine has a lightweight die - cast aluminum block with reinforced main
bearing caps to minimize weight.
A structural beam windage tray added support to the main
bearing caps to increase overall stiffness
The aluminum block was protected from wear by iron bore liners, cast in place; six attaching bolts were used for each of the four main
bearing caps, some also attaching a windage tray — which also did double duty, stabilizing the four caps to cut noise.
The new LR - V8 engines are built around a stiff, all new, aluminum block with cast - in iron liners and cross-bolted main
bearing caps, to reduce noise, vibration and harshness.
Cross-bolted main
bearing caps are secured to the block with four main bolts and two cross bolts each.
The Civic Si's new 1.5 - liter inline four has a lightweight die - cast aluminum block with individual reinforced main
bearing caps to minimize weight.
The 2.0 - liter four - cylinder employs such NVH - reducing features as a chain - driven balancer unit in the oil pan; a highly rigid, ferrous - carbon inserts in the main
bearing caps for added rigidity; a one - piece crankshaft carrier; a silent chain cam drive; and a stiff, cast - aluminum oil pan.
The block has a one - piece aluminum crankshaft carrier, which has ferrous - carbon inserts in
the bearing caps for additional strength and incorporates a stiff, cast - aluminum oil pan.
Lightweight, high - strength steel connecting rods are heat - forged in one piece and then «crack separated» to create a lighter and stronger rod with an optimally fitted
bearing cap.
The lower crankcase assembly supported the crankshaft without conventional main
bearing caps.
The high - pressure die - cast lightweight aluminium block is stiffened with cast - iron liners and cross-bolted main
bearing caps, providing refinement to match its power.
First use of fracture split main -
bearing caps, which create a superior fit between the cap and engine block for reduced crankshaft friction to help improve efficiency.
A unique «crack separated» build process (in which
the bearing caps are broken away from the rod rather than machined separately) allows for a lighter, stronger connecting rod with perfect mating surfaces.
Six - bolt main
bearing caps, a fully counterweighted forged steel crankshaft and cast exhaust manifolds are designed for heavy - duty operation.
Cylinder Block and Crankshaft The Civic Hatchback's 1.5 - liter inline four has a lightweight die - cast aluminum block with individual reinforced main
bearing caps to minimize weight.
For a solid foundation, the engine's lower end uses six - bolt main
